    Why are my clothes still wrinkled after using the STEAM REFRESH cycle on my Kenmore Dryer?
    • J
      John MoranAug 14, 2025
      If garments are still wrinkled after using the STEAM REFRESH cycle, it could be due to overloading the dryer or mixing different types of fabrics. For best results, use small loads of 1 to 5 items and load similar-type garments.

    What to do if the ADD WATER indicator light is on during the drying cycle of my Kenmore 795.851**.900?

      If the ADD WATER indicator light is on, there may be a water supply error. Here's what to check: 1. Ensure the steam feeder is filled with water up to the MAX line. 2. Make sure the steam feeder is properly seated and the drawer is fully closed. 3. Turn the dryer off, then restart the Steam cycle. Do not use distilled water. If the issue persists, unplug the dryer and call for service.

    Why do odors remain in clothing after using the STEAM REFRESH cycle on my Kenmore Dryer?
    • T
      timothygoodmanAug 25, 2025
      If odors remain in clothing after using the STEAM REFRESH cycle, it means the cycle couldn't completely remove the odor. Fabrics with strong odors should be washed in a normal cycle.

    What does BULKY LOAD on the display of my Kenmore 795.851**.900 Dryer mean?
    • B
      bryantwendyAug 27, 2025
      The 'BULKY LOAD' display appears when the MORE TIME button has been pressed multiple times. This sets the cycle for a large load, like a comforter.

    Why does water drip from the nozzle when the Steam Cycle starts on my Kenmore Dryer?
    • N
      Nicole ChristianAug 31, 2025
      Water dripping from the nozzle at the start of the Steam Cycle is normal. This is steam condensation and should stop after a short time.
  • D
    David AdamsSep 3, 2025
    Why can't I see steam vapor at the beginning of the cycle in my Kenmore Dryer?
    • M
      Melissa HatfieldSep 3, 2025
      It's normal not to see steam vapor at the beginning of every cycle. Steam is released at different stages of the cycle depending on the selected option.
  • E
    Eric MurraySep 6, 2025
    What to do if steam doesn’t generate but no error code is shown on my Kenmore Dryer?
    • M
      Michael WilliamsSep 7, 2025
      If steam isn’t generating and no error code is displayed, unplug the dryer and call for service, as this could indicate a water level error.
  • K

    What to do if there are no creases left on garment after STEAM REFRESH in Kenmore 795.851**.900?
    • M
      Michael RobertsSep 10, 2025
      The STEAM REFRESH cycle is designed to remove wrinkles from fabric. If you need to make creases, use an iron.
